Counter flow exchanger in which the two fluids flow parallel to each other but in opposite directions. This type of flow arrangement allows the largest change in temperature of both fluids and is therefore most efficient (where efficiency is the amount of actual heat transferred compared with the theoretical maximum amount of heat that can...

A heat exchanger is a device used to transfer heat between two or more fluids. The fluids can be single or two phase and, depending on the exchanger type, may be separated or in direct contact. Devices involving energy sources such as nuclear fuel pins or fired heaters are not normally regarded as heat exchangers […]

Tube metal is usually: Low carbon steel Low alloy steel Stainless steel Copper Admiralty Cupronickel Inconel Aluminum (in the form of alloys), or titanium. Tube diameters (8–15 mm) are preferred for greater area/volume density but are limited, for purposes of in-tube cleaning larger tube diameters are often required for condensers and boilers....

Shell & tube heat exchangers are the most versatile type of heat exchangers. stations, steam generators, etc
